Be sure to check with your state department of environmental quality before
getting too involved with your idea. Auto repair shops are regulated by them
as well as by your local zoning department. Other regulations may apply as
well.

Hi,
Federal grants are typically aimed at specific industries and targeted causes identified by the government, such as scientific and medical research, conservation efforts, and so on. Check out this blog for more information. But other options, like loans, may be available to help. SBA doesn't loan money directly to small business owners; instead, SBA can help facilitate a loan for you with a third party lender, guarantee a bond, or help you find venture capital. Here's what you need to know about SBA's role in the loan process. Check this information out to learn about what you need when considering applying for a loan, including details about credit factors that are taken into consideration. Best of luck!
